Therapists in Connecticut

My work is a dynamic blend of all that has profoundly influenced me: the science of Family Systems and my 30 years study in Buddhist psychology. My marriage of 27 years and my relationship with my two young adult children has offered countless teachings and insights into human nature. My passion is in helping my clients develop conscious partnerships, mindful parenting, heal from trauma and live free of anxiety and depression. My work is psychodynamic: integrating attachment theory, contemplative inquiry, meditative practices and relational awareness for healing and happiness.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and State of Connecticut Certified School Social Worker with a passion for helping children and adolescents work through developmental stressors, as well as working with families. After all, "It takes a village to raise a child." I use a combination of insight, humor, evidence based practices, and strength based counseling to promote better understanding and tolerance of issues that are causing distress at home, school and/or work place. My positive and supportive approach focuses on integrating calming strategies, mindfulness, coping skills, problem solving skills, and fostering independence.
